Purchasing Assistant

​ ​

Role: Purchasing Assistant

Job Type: Full-Time, Hourly

Pay Range: $20-$22 / Hour

Working Hours: 8am - 5pm, M-F

Location: Greenville, SC 29615

Minimum Experience: 

• 1+ years of administrative or purchasing experience, ideally in a fast-paced environment

Please note: We have a separate Inventory Team that owns stock control and warehouse organization. This role is focused on purchasing: sourcing, vendor coordination, and order follow-up, not physical inventory management. 

Work Environment

• Office setting, on-site

• Moderate to high-paced work

• Team environment

• B2C and B2B company, family owned

• ~100 employees, one location

About the Role

Every part we source has to arrive on time, at the right price, and in the right condition, or a repair doesn't happen on schedule. You'll assist the Purchasing Team to help keep that chain intact: sourcing components, tracking down vendors, following up on orders that are running late, and keeping purchasing records clean enough that anyone on the team can trust them at a glance.

This role rewards someone who notices the small stuff. A wrong quantity on a purchase order, a vendor who's been slower than usual, a price that crept up without anyone catching it, these are the kinds of things that matter here, and we need someone who catches them before they become bigger issues. You don't need years of purchasing experience to succeed. You need to be organized, precise, and comfortable following up until something is actually resolved.

Who We Are and What We Do

When someone's car won't start or their appliance suddenly fails, they need a solution that actually works, not a $400 replacement part and a two-week wait. That's where we come in.

Circuit Board Medics has been remanufacturing automotive and appliance circuit boards since 2010, and we've earned over 37,000 five-star reviews doing it. Our customers choose us because we fix things right, stand behind our work, and treat people like people. That reputation wasn't built by accident; it was built by a team that genuinely cares.

We're a family-owned company of about 100 people, all under one roof in Greenville, SC. Our vision “Care. Serve. Restore.” isn't marketing language. It's how we actually operate, from the technician bench to the customer email inbox. We hold ourselves to core values of People, Excellence, and Ownership, and we mean it when we say those things guide how we work.

If you're someone who takes pride in getting the details right, who'd rather double-check a number than assume it's fine, and who wants to be part of a team that's built something worth being proud of, you'll fit in here.

What This Role Is Not

We want to make sure you have a clear picture of the role before applying: This is not an inventory management, warehouse, or logistics role. We have a separate Inventory team responsible for stock control and warehouse organization. This is not a role where you'll be making high-level sourcing strategy decisions on your own; you'll work closely with the Purchasing team. Your focus is sourcing, vendor coordination, purchase orders, and purchasing records, not physical stock handling or warehouse operations. 

Work Expectations

Circuit Board Medics was founded on, and continues to maintain, a 1-Day Turnaround for standard repairs. This creates a fast-paced environment that requires a strong sense of urgency. The typical workday is onsite, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, primarily in an office setting. Occasional time in the warehouse should be expected, but day-to-day inventory handling is managed by our Inventory team. Touching, moving, and lifting both new and used products and components is common.
